Snow stalls out before reaching Kitsap

The cold air infiltrating from Canada has stalled out and won't make it down this far. A winter storm watch has been lifted for the Hood Canal area and North Kitsap, according to the National Weather Service. Three to 5 inches of snow were forecast for those areas, but the alert now only remains in effect for western Whatcom County. Those riding in Bainbridge Island's Chilly Hilly bike ride and the rest of us will only see rain at times.

Light snow is falling in a line from Port Angeles eastward to between Arlington and Everett. It stopped heading south and will turn around and go back where it came from.

The weather station at Bremerton National Airport is showing a temperature of 46 degrees, though the predicted high is just supposed to be 43. It won't fall much below 40 overnight. Rain is a sure thing. Winds will be light, maybe 5 mph, or nonexistent.
